Jim Fredrikson: Beardless in Boston?

Come spring, will they still have their beards, or even grow new ones? Isn't that the question about the 2014 Boston Red Sox?

Not so much literally -- although that would be interesting in itself -- but figuratively. In other words, "Who will they be?" Can they be the same tight-knit team they were in 2013? Without the motivation of Boston Strong and all that?

Do they have the talent? Funny, it's the same question we asked going into last year.
We found out that they did. And a lot more.

Will they have the drive? Personally, I would never doubt this team. Not after what I've just seen.
